According to my surgeon, Dr. Davis Hurley, the surgery on my right hand went well. And, the carpal tunnel was apparently quite constricted, so he is optimistic about the results I will get once everything heals. I’ll have my hand in a bandage for 10 days and then get my stiches out, so I might not be doing as much with my hand as I had hoped. I’m going to take it easy through the weekend and see if I think I can do anything in my studio next week!

Hi David,
Glad you made it successfully through surgery!!
Keep healing and I am sure all of us wish you the best. Sometimes you just have to rest and let the healing happen …
Take care!

Hey David-
Good to see you recouperating. Maybe you could invoke Daniel Day-Lewis and paint with your left foot for awhile.
Relax, enjoy the downtime, and take care of yourself.
Best, Sean

Thanks for all of the well-wishes, everyone! I’m off my pain meds and can’t wait to get this bandage off and the stiches out so I can get on with my life! There is still some pain and I can’t lift much weight, but I’ll be back to painting next week!

David’s been a fantastic patient throughout this whole ordeal! The doctor told me this surgery should really help him. He’s eager to be painting again full-time soon!

Awesome- Really good to hear. Those pain medications can do funny things to you- Remind me to tell you about the time, fueled by Vicodin, I procured a trombone and a toy-clapping monkey, and whilst still in flannel pajamas pants and a half-shirt displaying “I’m With Stupid” but missing the all-important arrow pointing anywhere, I proceeded to attempt starting a musical faux-circus….
Once the doctor allowed my release, I came to the understanding that maybe aspirin would be a better pain-management tool.
But I digress.

What a cute sooky face! (as in poor, poor, pitiful me) It makes the mother in me want to give you a hug & kiss better. hehe
